Located within sniffing distance of Kokusaidori Street, Makishi Public Market may be a tourist haunt, but don’t let that deter you from visiting. This bustling market stocked with fresh produce and local foodstuffs offers more than a glimpse into the unique Okinawan culinary culture that is unlike the rest of Japan. Those looking for quick souvenirs can snag a bottle (or two) of Awamori, or a pair of Shisa statues that are said to ward off evil.
